A Presidential Pivot or a Deal?

Trump was the President that a Republican Congress wanted on Tuesday. No egoistic rants about false crowds or landslides, no fake news whining, a response to calls to condemn anti-Antisemitism, even if just for form's sake. Just hardcore Republican promises to tear down regulations, deport people, repeal healthcare reform and screw the environment. No Trumpy distractions.

Trump hasn't attacked a single thing or person or thing on Twitter in over three days.

Is Trump turning over a new leaf on his own, or is there more to this. Is this his concession to keep Congress from forcing an independent investigation? Did McConnell and Ryan let them know that if he wants to stay, he has to jump into line?

Problem is, too many people trying to pull too many strings on this "useful idiot." Is he the marionette of the Russians, the Congress, or the alt-right? If they each are holding a string, the puppet show could become very interesting...

Take that phony media. Remember any Trump headline good or bad helps Trump and something has to be done about North Korea.
